How not to behave at the mall. From A Visit to the Bazaar, J. Harris, 1818., the chapter on the Gun Smith. The chapters on the Jeweller, Linen Draper, Toy Shop. Pastry Cook, Optician, and Bookseller are far more benign.

We found, to our astonishment, that there was no copy of A Visit from St. Nicholas with the classic illustrations by Thomas Nash on the Internet Archive. We have uploaded a scan from the copy, c. 1874, in the Ellery Yale Wood collection of Children’s Books and Young Adult Literature. (Moore, Clement Clarke, 1779-1863. Visit of St. Nicholas. Nast, Thomas; 1840-1902, illustrator. New York: McLoughlin Bros. New-York, c.1871-1874. Aunt Louisa's Big Picture series).
